We plan to come back for a longer stay to explore the surroundings. Very promising area for walks, many villages nearby,

Very nice location with fantastic views of the valley. Great taverna and wonderful breakfast. Nicely decorated rooms. Staff is super great! Pool a real bonus.

Would return in a heart beat and stay longer!

This was one of the best places that we have stayed in and we travel a lot. Starting with the staff they were helpful, outgoing, and genuinely interested in us and our comfort. We had three meals there and they were all excellent (I recommend the snails...a bit different than the French version, but very tasty). The apartment was very comfortable and the view of the entire Amari valley with Mt Ida right there was breath taking. Highly recommend this for more than one day. (They offer various excursions).

The only negative, which turned into a very positive was that we were expecting a hot tub as described on-line, but it was a swimming pool instead which we did enjoy.

Wow!!! A hidden Gem!! Felt like a 4* Hotel at a 1* Price!

Fabulous!! We felt like we had found a hidden gem!!! We spent 2 nights here while we were travelling around the Island, wished we could have stayed longer. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Room was clean with an amazing view from the balcony. We ate all our meals here, breakfast was plentiful and tasty, delicious home cooked food at a very good price. The owner offers foraging and other guided walks, we didnt have enough time but wished we had. They are some lovely walks directly from the hotel but you do need a car to appreciate the whole area.

If I was to be super critical, the shower was cold, however, everything else outweighed this small inconvenience, anyway, Ive watched Wim Hof, its good for you!!

Spectacular views

This place felt like paradise and the views are simply spectacular! Everyone is so friendly and the rooms are very modern and comfortable. We ate an evening meal and breakfast and the food was delicious.

There was nothing to dislike!
